I've been carrying a copy of this in my clinic jacket since the first one I bought around 1987, my first year in med school and this was suggested as a great way of having commonly prescribed meds handy in my "peripheral brain."I remember when it was about 1/3d as thick and the writing was large enough I could read it without +2 diopter reading glasses.Well, nearly thirty years ago I could read most anything without glasses, but still.Still jam-packed with prescribing data, treatment info, just as useful now as it was then even with an iPhone and Medscape program and all that.
Gotta have it on clinical rotations, especially when you're me and pharm is your weakness. Well-organized, easy to use, and it has all the most pertinent info that I need in a pinch. iPhone apps are more comprehensive, but this is fast and concise and people don't get as bent out of shape about seeing you with a book as they do with a phone in your hands.
Love this reference, small enough to fit in your pocket and packed with concise, key information. Highly recommended! FNP, APRN
Excellent book to keep in your lab coat! Lots of tables and information to reference. Some reviewers commented about how small the print is. I have 20/20 vision and do not have any problem reading this. I think that if you are older or have worse vision at baseline then this may be more difficult for you.
I know that I should be in the digital world, but sometimes when the wi-fi doesn't connect, or I forgot my phone in my car, then this booklet really comes in handy. Not to mention the fact that I've carried the annual edition of this book in my white coat for almost 20 years and I don't think it would survive without me carrying around.
I have been purchasing this book since medical school but my last one was 2007 (I slacked of the updates) and finally broke down to purchase a new one. I am pleased. I appreciated the new features and arrangement. They did a great job. The text size has not changed - fine with me - but it is thicker. This thickness is by no means a deterrent because it is still very small. This is my favorite medical book next to the Merk manual - two must haves for physicians.
Essential for daily practice. I won't walk into an exam room without it.Clearly gives dosages, how supplied, both generic and brand names, and useful tables like opiate conversions.Gives an idea of cost as well.
this little gem is worth every penny, I have bought this reference book since I was in graduate school and each year it gets better and more inclusive, while remaining portable. Highly recommend for any health care professional
